100 block of E. 22nd

SPD Ptl. Eric Brown was dispatched to a local grocery store for a shoplifting call. He spoke with a manager who said a white female had walked through the store shopping. The manager saw the female take candy bars and place them in her purse then zip the purse closed. The manager said he approached the suspect at the checkout counter and asked the woman if she had candy bars in her purse. The woman unzipped her purse and was made to pay for them. The manager said the store wanted to press charges, so the woman was placed under arrest and transported to the police department.

100 block of Commercial Drive

SPD Sgt. Keith Smith responded to the area for a reported accident in the apartment complex parking lot. A woman stated that another woman had "backed up and hit her son" on his bicycle. The woman said the female driver "didn't look before she backed up and backed up fast and then refused to get out of the vehicle and talk to her." The driver stated that she had looked behind her and couldn't see the child, so she started to back up slowly then hit the child. She said the woman started yelling and screaming at her and that she had stayed in the car until the woman when inside to avoid a fight. There were no damages to the vehicle. The child had scratches on his legs and face.
